Order Denying Motion
ECF No. 23

Defendant

Pro se plaintiff Jessica Brown brings this action over a shoplifting episode at Walmart.

10 The magistrate judge screened her complaint, found that it failed to state a colorable claim, and
11 dismissed it with leave to amend by May 16, 2024. 1 Because Brown has not yet filed an
12 amended complaint, there are no claims pending. Nevertheless, she has filed a document entitled
13 “Summary Judgment.” 2 Because summary judgment is not available when there are no claims
14 pled, and because Brown’s “Summary Judgment” filing is wholly incoherent,
15

IT IS ORDERED that the motion for summary judgment [ECF No. 23] is DENIED.

16 Brown may not file any additional motions in this case unless and until she timely files an
17 amended complaint and the court screens that complaint and permits claims to proceed.
